Women, money, worth, finances. It’s so confusing and overwhelming and emotional. But what does it take to reach financial freedom - especially for women, for working moms, trying to balance it all, trying to have it all?

Things were going well. My second child, a rainbow baby was almost a year old. Then, by accident, I found out I was vastly underpaid. My counterpart, a woman who had a similar job to mine made 47% more money than I did. I was shocked. I was angry. After a few weeks,I started doing the thing I do best – I started reading everything I could about women, leadership, pay, and careers.

Do you have financial goals? Are they clear and concrete? Are they ambitious? Is it something that you expect to achieve with time and limited effort or do you think you will have to push yourself to achieve these goals? People who have concrete goals are far more likely to achieve them. So why not start by making some financial freedom goals?
